Editorially First, most important, our thanks to those Lobster subscribers who responded to our appeal for money. Your response, and a bit of ‘consulting’ with Fleet St. on the content of Lobster 11, has halved our debts. We shall survive. It is tempting to say something about the developing crisis re the Wilson-MI5 story (Lobstergate?). […]
Who’s kidding whom? The September issue of Fortean Times carried a five page article by Robert Irving, ‘The Henry X File’, about Armen Victorian. It was a very strange article, part profile, part smear job. Armen was ‘twice reportedly seen in the back of a Soviet embassy limousine in Ottowa… rumours associated with the deadly […]
[…] London. Robin Ramsay Ware on Wallace I became aware of John Ware when he joined the side of the sceptics about Colin Wallace during the great Wallace-Wright- Wilson plots events of 1987. Ware had been one of the many journalists who went to interview Colin Wallace at his home in Arundel that year. Rather […]

He also claimed to have worked for the UN in New York and to have been Idi Amin’s advisor there. These ‘revelations’ were made at […]

[…] me recently, Miller was conspicuous by his absence from Smear!– an oversight, nothing more interesting – though he does get a brief mention in Ben Pimlott’s Harold Wilson. Miller was one of those slightly rogueish, dodgy businessmen for whom Wilson had a penchant, and who ingratiated themselves with him by providing the Labour Party […]
[…] thing. Real, named, scientists and industrialists are interested. But on the down side there are more bizarre claims by a now dead, allegedly much decorated, USAF Colonel Wilson about MJ12 et al.

[…] in his account they are just part of the picture. This is not the only area Pearce refuses to take on board. There is nothing on the Wilson plots and the fact that Healey’s wartime flirtation with communism loomed large in MI5’s disinformation strategy.
